1. That would be hilarious

If that happened at a funeral in our family, we would have all been rolling on the floor. It would have been as if the dead were speaking from beyond.



Sorry, I come from a morbid family when it comes to mortality, we usually roll with it and throw an Irish wake style funeral.

the Captain could have come on with "OK folks, it has been a nice ride, but now it is time for us to start the final descent..."

3. That would have been awesome

Besides, sometimes you need a break from the sadness of it all. Not sure my family would appreciate it, but I'd see the humor.

4. If that happened at my funeral, I'd have had a laugh. Or at least, tried to.

But I can see it's not for everyone.
